I use this recipe all the time except I use blackeyed peas. I haven't tried the english peas but I'm sure it is just as good.

If you find the dressing to sweet try using apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. It gives it a little tang.SCD

I love this salad! I accidentally used regular white vinegar instead of the white wine vinegar and it turned out great. I also subbed Splenda for the sugar.

Have made this for years and had lost the recipe. We used APPLE CIDER vinegar instead of white wine vinegar and cut the sugar by about half.

I have been looking for this recipe or one similar since my mother-n-law died. She made this from memory so it wasn't in her recipe stash. The only difference is she used apple cider vinegar.

This recipe gets 5 stars with my changes; omitted bell pepper and substituted chopped water chestnuts for celery. Our dinner guests raved about it asking for the recipe. This salad is really better in a day or two. It does make a lot of dressing but it's great sopped up with some good sour dough bread! I'll be making this in place of my usual 3 bean salad. Thanks.

Love this type of salad ... you can make a little or make a lot - depending on what the need is for. It's refreshing for summer get togethers.

This was way too SWEET for us. My husband couldn't even eat it. I tried to salvage the dish by adding more white wine vinegar. When I tried it the next day, it was a little better but I wouldn't bother making it again.
